    Got the cruise for my parents for christmas, they absolutely loved it. They ended up being the only couple on board so it was a very personal experience for them. Mum loved the captain Jacob. Mum said she would go back again
    Fun experience

    We did this cruise in the pouring rain. No sunset at all. However it was still a blast. Jacob entertained us with great stories. He also showed us interesting sights along the river. Highly recommend.
    Great cruise!

    Story cruise
    Joseph_R, Dec 2023
    Jacob did a good job of entertaining us. The weather was cloudy and we didn't really see a spectacular sunset but he had a lot of interesting stories to tell. I highly recommend it.
    Small boat but awesome tour!
    Stephanie_K, Dec 2023
    Jacob was a great tour guide very passionate and knowledgeable. The boat was smaller than I had in my mind, but ended up being nice and intimate and not loud which i suppose was a bonus.
    Great start to our stay.
    Tami_K, Nov 2023
    Jacob was so friendly and shared great stories about the land, the people and the history of the land and water.
    Very informative and romantic experience
    catherine_c, Nov 2023
    Everything that we experienced were magical - loved it. Cruise driver was very knowledgeable, an excellent host and certainly entertaining. We enjoyed a touch of light-hearted moments, history, romance, current affairs . A great experience for us from Singapore. A definitely recommend this cruise to friends going to Cairns. Oops forgot to mention the driver/guide - he was Samuel. Yes, the sunset from the harbour was breathtaking. There is nothing more to improve. It is perfect in my standard. Thank you

    Response from Host, Aug 2023
    Hi, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review :) So glad you got to experience a great sunset!
    Great evening cruise
    Rob_W, Jul 2023
    This was a very relaxing river cruise. Our skipper and guide was extremely friendly and provided a great commentary as well as answering any questions. I liked the fact there was a max of 18 travellers as the cruise felt more personal. We had a welcome drink plus cheese & crackers en route and I saw some places I hadn't previously seen. Also lovely to see cairns esplanade by night. I definitely recommend this cruise.
    Response from Host, Aug 2023
    Hi Rob, Glad to hear you enjoyed the Trinity Inlet as much as we do :) What an office for our crew!
    Well worth the money! Enjoyed every bit!
    Madison_M, Jul 2023
    As a young-female solo traveler, I thought this experience was well worth it. The boat wasn't too crowded and the captain was very knowledgable. Well worth the money! Enjoyed every bit!
